Starring Natalie Portman in an undeniably demanding role, "Jackie" follows First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy through the aftermath of her husband's assassination, and chronicles her desperation to preserve his legacy while picking up the pieces of her shattered life.

Jackie is an off-kilter film that doesn’t present the titular character in the best light, and that’s a key reason why it so engaging. Natalie Portman is fantastic as ever, who absolutely embodied a young Jacqueline Kennedy. As the film shifts between her early days as First Lady and the aftermath of the John F. Kennedy assassination, we see different sides of Jackie. After JFK is killed, she’s at turns stoic and a wreck, which is easy to imagine being the case in that situation.
